Duración: 10:46 minutos
Watch young rider Anya as she trains with her pony Blondie working on improving their canter, striding, and course flow in preparation for the show ring. In only a short time together, they’ve already seen impressive results—4th place in a 138cm Grand Prix!
With a mix of encouragement and expert coaching from Olympic Equestrian Holly Smith, Anya learns how to refine her ride: getting the right take-off points, keeping balance through related distances, riding smoother corners instead of square ones, and staying composed when her pony spooks at unexpected things—like a cameraman! She also shares her favorite part of the session: learning how to adjust her stride length and keep control, even when nerves kick in.
